Product Description:
The Dollmaker was the name of the serial killer who had stalked Los Angeles ruthlessly, leaving grisly calling cards on the faces of his female victims. Now with a single faultless shot, Detective Harry Bosch thinks he has ended the city's nightmare.But the dead man's widow is suing Harry and the LAPD for killing the wrong man-- an accusation that rings terrifyingly true when a new victim is discovered with the Dollmaker's macabre signature.So for the second time, Harry must hunt down a death-dealer who is very much alive, before he strikes again. It's a blood-tracked quest that will take Harry from the hard edges of the L.A. night to the last place he ever wanted to go-- the darkness of his own heart.With The Concrete Blonde, Edgar Award-winning author Michael Connelly has hit a whole new level in his career, creating a breathtaking thriller that thrusts you into a blistering courtroom battle-- and a desperate search for a sadistic killer.

After reading a few of Connelly's more recent novels, I decided to go back and read the Harry Bosch books in order. The Concrete Blonde is the third installment, and in my opinion, it is the best one so far. While Bosch is on trial for shooting a man suspected of being a serial killer called the Dollmaker, another victim is discovered who appears to have been killed after the shooting. Bosch must investigate the crime and determine if he shot an innocent man.

The Concrete Blonde is a masterfully told story featuring LAPD detective Harry Bosch. Author Michael Connelly is as comfortable writing about the courtroom as he is a murder case. And, he combines both of them in this novel. Connelly's characters are believable and the details are rich. In Concrete Blonde, Bosch is trying to solve what may be "copy cat" murders while he's on trial for shooting "The Dollmaker," a serial killer. But did Bosch kill the right person? Is the Dollmaker still out there somewhere? New murders and taunting letters seem to suggest Bosch shot the wrong man. The evidence points to a couple different suspects, but Connelly keeps you guessing the entire time. The Harry Bosch series is great.

The Concrete Blonde has Connelly at the top of his game. What's especially nice is how he has structured the story around a question of justice, which he ties into the title itself. There are three concrete blondes in this story. Victims become avengers and vice versa. Connelly's hero can't remember the name of the statue of the blindfolded lady holding the sword and scales, noted twice, which is Connelly's way of giving you the homework assignment to look it up yourself. If you do that you automatically learn more than you knew about conceptions of justice.
Very cool book, thanks Mr. Connelly.

I have read several of Michael Connelly's books. This is among the best of American writing. You cannot go wrong. This is not pulp fiction. In Borsch, Connelly has makes a fascinating character real. The plot twists and turns. Expect to loose some sleep because Connelly makes it come alive and you will not want to hit "stop".

Well written with good dialogue and good character development. Some things were predictable, like the defense lawyer getting killed and the newspaper reporter being the killer.
The plot was good and the story moved along well.
A good read.
